i've been prescribed many things but usally i end up doing this:

right now i've been prescribed restoril (temazepam) 20 mg once a night when needed.

but often i take 40 mg and sometimes 20 mg with valium (diazepam) 5 mg.

i do not recommend not taking meds as not prescribed to anyone.

in the past, the following meds have worked well:

sirdalud (tizanidin) 4 mg + seroquel 25 mg [sirdalud is a mscle relaxant tho]
seroquel 25 mg alone (at this dose i do not feel drowsy in the morning, but as the dose increases, it gets harder and harder to wake up - i react very strongly to this med)
xanax 2 mg

though the dosage is different for each individual..
